## Description

Carved by hand from Mediterranean olive wood sourced in Tunisia, this mortar and pestle is a working tool first. Olive wood is dense and close-grained, which makes it genuinely well-suited for grinding spices — it resists cracking and doesn't absorb odors the way softer woods do. The grain patterning varies piece to piece because each one is cut from a different section of the tree.Available in 4.5-inch and 6-inch diameters. Olive wood requires occasional oiling to stay in good condition; food-grade mineral oil works. At end of life, an untreated olive wood piece can be composted in a home pile, though it will take several years to break down fully. Packaging details are not disclosed by the vendor — worth asking if that matters to you.
